Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0054999A1] The invention relates to a filler neck for the fuel tank of a motor vehicle. The inventive filler neck comprises a housing (12, 14) which has an outer closure (30) that can pivot between a closed and opened position and which has a second closure element (50) that is accommodated inside the housing. Said second closure element is interactively connected to a ventilating valve (16) which, in order to equalize pressure, automatically opens in the instance of excess pressure inside the fuel tank and opens when inserting the dispensing nozzle (100), said dispensing nozzle causing the closure element (50) to swivel open. The inventive filler neck is characterized by a lever (1) which is pivotally mounted on the housing (12). Said lever is actuated by the dispensing nozzle (100) when the same is inserted, and opens the ventilating valve (16) before the dispensing nozzle (100) causes the second closure element (50) to swivel open.
